Instant Pot Rib Tips Recipes

INSTANT POT RIBS

Steps:

• Rinse the ribs and pat them dry. If your ribs still have the thin, shiny membrane on the back, remove it. (This is easy, don't worry!) Flip the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a dull knife (such as a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Rub it all over the ribs, generously coating all of the sides.
• Place the trivet (or rack) in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke. Place the ribs inside the pot, standing them on the trivet on their side and wrapping the rack around the inside of the pot like a circle.
• Cover and seal the Instant Pot. For baby back ribs: Cook on high (manual) pressure for 23 minutes (if you are making multiple racks and your ribs are super meaty, increase to 25 minutes). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then vent to release the remaining pressure. For spare ribs: Cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release completely (about 15 minutes). You will know it is released when the pin drops.
• Towards the end of the ribs' cook time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the cooked ribs to the foil, then brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place under the broiler just until the sauce begins to caramelized, about 2 minutes. Do not walk away to make sure the ribs don't burn.

INSTANT POT RIB TIPS

Steps:

• Rub seasoning over pork rib tips.
• Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and then stack the rib tips on the Instant Pot trivet and place the trivet in the inner pot.
• Seal the Instant Pot and set to sealing. Add 40 minutes high pressure cook time.
• Allow for a natural release and then when the pressure has all been let out, either serve the tib tips with barbecue sauce or finish on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side and then serve.

• Mix BBQ sauce and liquid smoke until well combined.
• Place ribs in the slow cooker and pour BBQ sauce mixture evenly over ribs.
• Cook on Low until ribs are tender, 4 to 6 hours.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Remove ribs from the slow cooker and baste with remaining BBQ sauce.
• Broil ribs in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes on each side.

INSTANT POT® RIBS
